Guest guest Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Shree Hari Ram Ram In Chapter 17, Lord talks about the different foods that a Sattvic, Rajasik, and Tamasik person is attracted to. I believe in Gita 17:10, there is talk of the tamasik person and the foods that they are attracted to... this includes half cooked food, insipid, stinking (wine, onion, garlic etc), stale, polluted and the very impure (meat, fish, eggs etc). Lord does not directly talk about the foods, as much as the description of the person's inclination, which can be judged by the nature of the food that is dear to them. The word used by the Lord is " AMEDHYAM " for meat, fish and eggs etc. as extremely impure foods. These are so impure that they are as good as a dead man's body, that even on touching it, one has to take a bath. They are so impure that the Lord does not even want to mention the names of these impure foods. Hope this helps.... A Sadhak Ram Ram -- Can someone please tell me that " where does it indicate in Shri Bhagvad Gita that a human being should not eat MEAT. " It is very important for me to know this fact. Thank you Hari OM Kaushal V. Patel aaryanjay.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Fellow Devotees;Here is a nice way of looking at meat. If we divide the word into two we see Me and Eat. The way we can avoid eating our animal brothers and sisters is by understanding that they will Eat Me in the future lives, as the table gets turned around on us. Although I am eating , I will become the eaten. Vegetables, fruits and grains cannot eat. They have to be eaten . But animals eat and we should hopefully not see the day when we fall back into the lower species and face the tribulations of corporate slaughter as recently depicted in the movie, Fast Food Nation.Avadhootsadhak_insight <sadhak_insight wrote: Shree Hari Ram Ram In Chapter 17, Lord talks about the different foods that a Sattvic, Rajasik, and Tamasik person is attracted to.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Hello all, I was told that once we are born humans, we can not go lower than the human species. Is that true? The way I look at it is that..simply, there are a lot of things to eat in the world besdies meat. Our ancestors (if one believes in evolution) did not have a choice but to hunt and eat meat. I believe if one meditates, he or she will realize and understand whether or not to eat meat. Does anyone know what other scriptures...Quran, Bible, Torah say about eating meat ?

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 || SHREE HARI || JAI SHREE KRISHNA! The very thought of killing someone ( any jeeva - animals, birds or any living being ) is criminal, so where does the question arise of eating it? Lord Krishna has described the inclination of tamasik person, but a sadhak or a devotee of Krishna can never be tamasik. HARE KRISHNA!
